against the ground

Hey hey hey

hey hey hey

Hey, ladies, we're almost there.

- Game face. Game face!

- Yeah.

- Game face.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And we dance like

we're on fire

When we sing

we sing too loud

But we always find our way

When we walk

against the ground

Hey hey hey

Hey hey

hey hey hey

Excuse me, hi.

Um, the wedding, we're a little

late, but can you tell us...

where the wedding is, please?

There's a wedding in Ballroom H,

just off the lobby.

Ballroom H, thank you,

thank you.

- There she is.

- Listen! Listen to us!

Stop! You're making a mistake,

don't do it!

We have to tell you something.

You're making a mistake.

Look, I know you don't know

who we are...

but I slept with your future

husband.

We both did, last night...

but we did not know that

he was getting married.

He lied to us and he will

lie to you.

What have I been...

Shut up, Dad!

You deserve better.

("WEDDING MARCH" PLAYING)

You're a piece of sh*t, Carlos!

(CROWD MURMURS)

Carlos?

- I feel bad about that.

- That was bad.

That was on us.

Hi.

Would there possibly be

another wedding...

at this hotel right now?

(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)

Sh*t! We missed it!

[MEG]

Son of a b*tch went Asian.

I'm not being racist,

I was just surprised.

There he is!

(MUSIC PLAYING)

Let's go!

Hey, Karen.

Sorry!

Hey, how're you doing?

You look beautiful.

What're you doing here?!

You lying, f***ing,

piece of bent dick sh*t!

Shh-shh-shh!

Okay, okay!

You're pissed off, but please,

please do not screw up my...

Hey, you guys. Thank you

so much for coming.

It's great seeing you.

You lied to us, a**hole!

You took advantage of us!

I liked you. I flew

in a hot air balloon for you!

- I concussed myself for you!

- Hold the f*** on!

You two were throwing

yourselves at me...

from the minute

I got on that plane.

That was a game, right? I mean,

you two were trying to prove...

I don't know what you were

trying to prove.

But it sure as sh*t

had nothing to do with me.

So, we kinda cancel

each other out.

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

Oh, that was the most beautiful

ceremony.

Thank you so much, Meemaw.

These are my friends,

Meg and Kate.

Oh. I'm sorry to break

in like that.

Vernon! Would you excuse us

for just one minute?

Vern, tell Ryan what you said.

Sh*t. Is he right?

Yeah.

- Wait!

- Yeah!

Right?

It was beautiful, wasn't it?

Sorry, excuse us

for just one minute.

Sorry.

You got married

ten minutes ago...

and you slept with two different

women last night?

What is wrong with you?

I know. I'm an a**hole,

I know.

A**hole? It's like biblically

more than that.

I want to punch you

in the mouth.

Will you just listen to me

for one second?

I have been with Genevieve since

freshman year of college...

and hopefully I'm gonna spend...

the rest of my life

with that woman.

But freshman year.

And two girls like you?

You're like every guy's dream.

I know you're not gonna

believe this...

but nothing like this has ever

happened to me before.

- Okay, okay, okay.

- Yeah, okay.

You... you lied to us.

Why didn't you tell us

that you were the one...

who was getting married?

I didn't lie to you.

You never asked.

Please don't destroy my wedding.

Ryan. What're you doing?

Hey!

- Aren't you wearing a watch?

- Yeah, I...

Hon, I said 5:
50.

Not 6:
00, not 6:05.

- I'm sorry.

- What is this?

Oh, I-I was just doing a...

Seriously, Ryan?

Hi. I'm Genevieve.

And you are...?

Gen, this is uh, Meg and Kate.

They were on the plane with me.

I told you. We uh,

drove down together.

Oh, wow. You guys have been

through such an ordeal.

Yeah, you have no idea.

Well, thank you for returning

him to me safely.

I was spazzing.

- I'm sorry. Sorry.

- It stretches out the material.

Oh, that... that'll come

right out.

I think it's the ham coquette.

[GENEVIEVE]

Did you talk to your parents?

- I'm on my way.

- No, I'll do it.

Do you think you can make it

to the garden by yourself?

Yeah.

Sorry, we were supposed to start

photos seven minutes ago.

Um, are you two...

What?

Staying?

No, no, I think we just-we-we

just came to um...

- To see your dress.

- Oh, the dress!

- I love it.

- Oh, yeah, no.

- It's Christopher Perry.

- It's so gorgeous.

It was his idea, he came here

to design it.

I hope I can do it justice.

Are you kidding me?

I think that justice is very

well served, right, Meg?

Absolutely.

Well, it was lovely to meet you.

Ryan?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wow.

Oh my god.

- That was...

- Karma's a b*tch.

Ryan!

I think our work here is done.

Well, it looks like a nice one.

Yeah, not bad.

We have almost four hours

'til our flight.

You wanna go mess up

another wedding?

Go to the beach?

What do you wanna do?

(DOOR BELL RINGS)

Pardon me, I'm in the market

for a precious stone.

Something lesser known,

perhaps a nice zinc?

Zinc's not a stone, it's an

element.

I know it's not a stone.

I was being poetic.

Jesus.

Well what, are you, stalking me

to bust my balls?

No, I... f***.

Can we start again?

Hello, Craig, I'm an a**hole.

You were trying to be nice

to me and I was rude...

and condescending and I didn't

even give you a chance.

And I didn't want to walk

away from this...

whole f***ed-up trip

without telling you that.

Okay. Thanks.

Okay, bye.

Wait, that's it?

That's all I had planned.

I'm trying to be responsible.

This is new for me.

Okay, well... take care, Meg.

What the hell.

How about this?

(MUSIC FADES UP)

Yeah, that works, too.

Bye, Craig.

Who was that?

Well, now I'm not so sure.

- Hi.

- Hey.

I was starting to get worried

about you.

Did you find him?

Yeah.

How'd it go?

I did most of the talking.

Well, good.

At least you got it

all out there.

Almost.

I don't think we can live

together anymore.

It's me. I'm a mess.

I need to get my sh*t together.

And I can't, if I keep letting

you bail me out of everything.

You're too good to me.

I don't know why...

'cause I can be a real a**hole

to you sometimes.

[FLIGHT ATTENDANT] We are now

boarding flight 770 to Seattle.

Please have your boarding

passes ready.

This doesn't mean that we won't

see each other...

No, of course not.

You're the most important

person in my life.

You are, too, ever since

fifth grade.

- We'll see each other as much...

- Probably more.

- As we ever had.

- Yeah.

Okay. Yeah.

Wait. You're an amazing person,

and you always have been.

I've always wanted to be more

like you.

If anything, I rely on you

too much.

I always cry at transitions.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

[DEMERIUS] Miss Jeffries!

Oh, hi, Demerius.

You're here early.

Computer club.

I um, did the report.

You said two pages?

So, is it okay that

I did it like that?

You drew this?

Yeah, I finished the book.

What they did to Piggy?

That was whack.

Yeah, that was absolutely whack.

So, is it okay?

Yeah, it's okay.

Miss Jeffries, hold up a second!

All right, I'll see you

in class.

See you in class.
